The Influence of Campus Protest on Student Conduct Policies: The Case of Indiana University Bloomington

Mahauganee Dawn Shaw

Abstract

This article provides a historic view of how student activism influenced campus governance in the 1960s, using Indiana University as a lens. Alongside IU archival documents, publications of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges provide the national context of campus administration during this period of student unrest. These documents come together to provide an example of how one institution navigated the task of reconciling institutional need with opinions from different stakeholder groups.
